Errors Concerning the Weather.

Few erroneous notions are spread SO
readily and cling so tenaciously as those
respecting the weather. In noticing COM
mon errors of this kind, Professor Cleve-
land Able, the distinguished meteorolo-
gist, urges attention to these facts: That
while the moon might we'll be expected to
influence our weather, scientific evidence
shows that it does not; that there is no
sound reason for believing that sun
spots have any appreciate effect in pro-
ducinp storms, or other local changes;
that animal instinct ranks greatly below
human intelligence as guide to future
weather; that the indications furnished
by plants are due to the MICROSCOPIC
condition of the air, as are also other
''signs,'' and are less delicate and ren-
able than the accurate instrumental tests
of mcteorologists; that electricity and
ozone do not produce the effects often
ascribcd to them; that thunderstOrms do
not cool the air, but the cool thrush re-
suits, like the storm, from the rise OF hot
ac'-at least in many cases; that IL mas
not vet been proven that the removal OF
forests and the extension of railroads and
teleeraphs have influenced our climate;
that the weather is materially the same as
in old fashioned times, scientific records
disproving the faulty recollections of the
oldest inhabitant; and that severe storms
are no more liable to occur at the date OF
the equinoxes, or on certain days of the
week or month, than at other times

NIGHT HAWK,

The attention OF breeders IS called
to this trotting bred stallion: His
color, b!acA small star, little white
on inside of right hind foot; fully ISL
hands; weight about 100 pounds.
Foaled May, 1875, at Lodi, Wis. The
property of Clark Babcock. Head
fine; neck long, and with good
arch, set we'll upon a good pair Of
shoulders; back short, with hips and
stiles immensely developed; legs
and feet perfectly sound and of the
true Black Hawk type. He has the
nervous action of the Morgan, with
the high knee action peculiar to the
Black Hawk family; has splendid
full name and tail. In short he is in
all respects, very good representa-
tive of the old Vermont Black Hawk.
While he has plenty Of life, he is of a
mild disposition, gentle and kind,
under all and any circumstances a
very fine driver.
Each and every breeder is requested
to look at this stallion; look at him
in detail; from his nose to the tip Of
his tail. His color is black, one of
the handsomest and toughest colors.
Look at his large nostril; his finely
shaped, we'll set, clean head: his
small ears; the breadth between his
ewes; the kindness which beams out
of those eyes; his beautifully arched
neck; his full chest; his sloped
shoulder; his short back; his long
hip; his beautifully formed rump;
his fine tail and the style. i'll which
he carries it; the space from his fore
to his hind legs, as compared with the
length of his back; his clean, hard
hickory like legs, not a particle of
meat OH them; and lastly notice the
perfect soundness of his feet. If you
like the form and size of the horse,
ask for and receive copy of his pedi-
gree and speed record. Night Hawk
will make the coming season at Halls
Ranch, except upon Wednesdays and
Saturdays when he will be in the
village of Morris. He will stand on
his own merits as getter of general
purpose horses brood mares, coachers
and carriage horses.
Below is the opinion OF Mr.. Laid,
in Wallace's Monthly by whose ex-
tended experience, both as a breeder
aad dealer, you will do we'll to profit.
He says; II am taught by experience
that good Morgan Stallion crossed
with a miscellaneous lot of mares,
will get more horses that everybody
wants for industrial pursuits and
domestic necessities and enjOyments,
than any other"
For further particulars apply to
either of the undersigned.

A drilled well should be made deep
that it may hold considerable water
If not, it may too easily be pumped
dry. Moreover, the fine sand gener-
ally present works its way, not only
filling up the lower end of the casing,
but when the pump pipe is set low,
and is pumping fast, some of the fine
sand will be pumped up and lodge in
the valve, soon causing the valve to
stay partly open, SO that the pump
will hold water, but must be primed
for new start. If the we'll be drilled
deep after tits first reached, space
can be allowed for filling up, and the
pump pipe need not he placed so near
the bottom. But there is less danger
of filling up if the we'll be thoroughly
cleaned or pumped out after being
sunk to the proper depth. This work,
says the Industrial Gazette, properly
belongs to the men who drill the we'll,
and should never be omitted. A great
deal Of floating sediment, If not re-
moved then and there, will be a
sourse of trouble ever afterward.

If the police authorities of the United
States were to consider it part of their
legitimate duty to publish analyses OF

with the profits of proprietary medicines.
In Germany this is looked upon as the

Twenty-Five years ago there was a
great gold excitement at the YER
million range. Thousands of people
went up there, but they found no
gold. They found plenty of iron, but
it was considered comparatively
worthless. Twenty years later the
Minnesota Iron Company went to
the same spot and began working a
pit. It is now known as "Tower
Opening No. L." From it has been
taken and now lies on the dump no.
900 tons of iron ore, grading as Min
nesota Bessemer No. 1, and selling at
so cents ton more than any other
iron ores in the world. On this ore
the Minnesota Iron Company makes
So per ton net profit. The company
expects to take out of this same pit
100000 more tons during tile present
season.

An Instructive Bird.

A suburban family have canary which
has been a cherished inmate of their house
hold for fifteen years. The old bird has
been completely paralyzed as to one leg
and one wing, and holds his poor withered
leg close up to his body; but he would hop
about cheerfully enough on the other leg
if it were not for the fact that he has be-
come totally blind with age. Not ray
of light can he see, and he has to summon
the family when he wants to mount his
perch, and he does not hesitate to summon
them on such occasions by call that they
have no difficulty in understanding.
But this decrepit old canary has one
trait which commends him more than
ever to the affection of the family. When
ever the sun comes out and the bright
light strikes his cage he bursts forth into
q song as joyous and musical as any that
q canary ever sung. Some CLEAN of the
brightness penetrates the film over his old
eyes, and he pours out the torrent of his
vocal rejoicing as if he could see far out
over the fields illuminated with the sun
light. His cheerfulness amid tremendous
discouragement has been an example Of
bravery that has carried more than one
human being through seasons of trouble
and despOndency.-Bos Transcript.

The demand for fair trial of the

worthy that the law as it has develop

thing as it was painted beforehand.

defective, but we are of the opinion

There is as much danger of hurting
the brain by idleness as by overwork.
According to a writer In Faith and
Work, DR.. Farquharson argues that
intellectual power is lessened by the
llstlessness in which the we'll TODD
classes generally spend their lives.
Under such conditions, the brain
gradually loses its health, and al
though equal to the demands of a
routine existence, is unable to with
stand the strain of sudden emergency.
So, when a load Of work is uneX-
pectedly thrown OH its unprepared
state, the worst consequences of what
may be called overwOrk show them
selves. Similarly, man accustomed
to sedentary pursuits is liable to be
physically Injured by taking sudden
ly too violent exercise.
AS to the amount of mental work
that may safely be done, DR.. Farquar-
son says: $50 long as brain worker
is able to sleep we'll, eat well, and to
take fair proportion of outdoor
exercise, it may safely be said that it
is not necessary to impose an special
limits on the actual number of hours
which he devotes to his labors. But
when what is generally known as
worry steps in to complcate matters,
when cares connected with family ar
rangements, or with those numerous
personal details which we can seldom
escape, intervene, or when the daily
occupation of lite is in itself fertile
source of anxiety, then we find one
or other of these safeguards broken
down.

The Stomach Blow Must Go.

The impression is growing that pugi-
ism must get rid of its brutal qualities,
and the first step toward that end will be
the abolition of the stomach blow. Scien-
tific sparring indicates chiefly the protec-
ton of the face. Now the stomach has
no protection. There is no bone there, as
in the case of the breast, to protect it, and
a blow is Just as serious as it would be on
the belly. We might as well lower the
belt below the waist. Two or three sue
cessful stomach blows will do the strong
est man. From what / have heard, the
sentiment of local pugilists and boxers is
against the blow. If some paper would
take the matter into consideration there
might result definite good. Another blow
is the knock out. 1t generally settles the
man who gets it, but the question is Of
getting in on the right spot. It's ques-
ton of skill The blow goes straight
from the shoulder to a small space on the
side of the neck. With bare knuckles it
is dangerous blow and is apt to kill a
man. But with gloves it is only liable to
put a man to sleep. They tell me that
the blow produces paralysis of the spinal
cord There is science in that, but none
in the stomach blow.-Pugilist in Globe
